Huh? Even if it’s produced in Denmark, how can some of the revenue not be going back to the US where Coca Cola is based?

Edit: Yep, Carlsberg Danmark pays royalties and licensing to The Coca Cola Company in the US. They also buy the syrup concentrate from the US (or its subsidiaries).

So it is most definitely a US product that is being “finished” in Denmark, with a lot of revenue going to the US.

Or your neighbour does all the work instead of you, so you decide to buy soap from them. They’re next door, while Walmart is across the county line, so you decide you won’t charge yourself the extra self-tax with your neighbour.

Walmart"s soap, which used to be $2, is now $3, while your neighbour’s soap is $2.50.

A week later your neighbour sees that demand for their soap is huge because everyone is self-taxing. So they raise their price to $2.95 to make extra profit.

In case you think this is just a contrived fiction, this is exactly what happened to many goods, like solar panels, with Trump’s first-term tarrifs. Americans paid over double the average world price for solar panels.

Worse still, Trump knows this happened, yet somehow this time will be completely different. <sigh>

• Dying of covid to own the libs.
• Losing their jobs to own the libs.
• Losing their social security to own the libs.
• Losing their health care to own the libs.
• Breathing increased pollution to own the libs.
• Paying higher prices to own the libs.

Shooting themselves in the foot over and over… “Ha! Take that libs!”

(Sooooo much winning /s)
